Is it still a good idea to keep applications like Mail.app or  
Terminal.app with the development libraries/frameworks? For a few  
months now there's the GNUstep Application Project (GAP) and moving  
those apps there would make the central part of GNUstep independent  
from these.

The reason I'm asking is, I think a GNUstep-only GNU/Linux distro  
won't be accepted by a wide audience anytime soon, if it happens at  
all. Accordingly, GNUstep should be (and is) prepared to coexist on  
other distros like FreeBSD, PC-BSD, Debian, Ubuntu, SuSe,  
Windows, ... you name it. Any of these distros, for example, feature  
a terminal application already, so for me it's questionable to keep  
another one written in GNUstep with the central GNUstep libraries/ 
frameworks. Moving non-development-oriented apps into GAP would  
better reflect the thinking of most of today's OS distributions,  
giving users a more comfortable experience.
